The auction website works a just like trade me.  It is totally legitimate, and we have use several times previously.  Payments after the auction will be direct to ADSA bank account – so we don’t lose any money on stripe or website fees.
 
Please help us to make this a huge success by sharing the link next week on your social media, with family, friends and work places.  We will be doing a lot of sharable social media – but personal Facebook posts or direct emails to your network are always most effective.
 
Our goal is to raise $4000 towards the ongoing operation of ADSA funding some of aspects of our children’s Christmas party and social clubs which can’t be covered with usual funding grants.
 
If you have something to donate – its not too late.  Just contact Xuan (adminsupport@adsa.org.nz).  We will be adding items over the weekend, and throughout the auction.
